Quinta do Noval Fine White Port Wine is the union of wines aged in old wood and stainless steel vats for two or three years. It has a golden yellow color and characteristic aroma.
In the mouth it is sweet, fine, unctuous, with a good balance and good aromatic persistence. Ideal for an aperitif. It must be served fresh.
Quinta do Noval is distinguished by the beauty of its terraces, the house, warehouse and typical wine presses, which are still in current use. First referenced in 1715, Quinta do Noval was acquired in 1894 by António José da Silva, who developed it over the following three decades. His descendants (recently, the van Zeller family) maintained the farm until 1993, the year it was acquired by AXA. In 1997, Quinta do Noval was a pioneer in centralizing all its activities in the Douro valley, instead of in Vila Nova de Gaia. Quinta do Noval Nacional 1963 was produced in its vineyards and mills, chosen as one of the 12 best wines of the 20th century by the American publication Wine Spectator.
